[Q] USB OTG - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So far i couldn't get usb otg to work on custom rom, not even with otg tools from playstore, and i didn't check if it was working on stock. folks, what is your experience with this? otg helper from store said no drivers found.

I don't know about custom roms on the SP, but USB OTG works fine on stock (C5303 here).

I use USB otg helper and stock ROM and stock kernel tho I am rooted and it works fine for me.
If you have custom ROM make sure this is supported or that custom kernel supports it.

i was able to get the usb working on the stock rom, but only with 1gb and 4gb keys. did not have 8gb to test, and 16gb would not work. it draws too much current and gets disabled by the device.

That's strange as I have 16 gig USB stick and it gets read OK

and now that i installed JBXSpRoM 2.0 it would not work gain. be nice if anyone else could post their xperience with this. i would like to know is it just me or it's a general issue. which i doubt.

You can try use usbstorage manager

USB works only with fat formatted sticks.
Ntfs isnt supported by today, right?

[Q] USB OTG on X8

I would like to know if USB OTG is possible on X8?
I have a OTG cable which I tested on Xperia Arc S, and it works there.
Actually the usb flash memory LED turns on, and phone recognizes it but can't use it because it's not LiveDock or however they call their official dock.
but the point is cable works.
I have tried the same cable and flash drive on X8. drive's LED don't turn on and logcat doesn't write any massage.
It seems like nothing happened. nothing at all.
i tried this with a few alfs kernel + GDX combination. and now with last ones v06 and v022.
alfsamsung, once, on his kernel thread, told that USB OTG support is in the kernel.
So, I wan't to ask, is or hardware not capable for OTG, or something else has to be done in kernel/ROM.
did anybody else try this.
I just want to know, not to hope for it anymore, if it's not possible.
Thank you
P.S. I also tested with Hard drive that has external power supply
its qvestion for nAa and alfassamsung
Well, i hope then, they or anybody else that knows this will see this post and answer.
And my thanks goes to alfsamsung in advance, because he did say he included support in kernel, but can't test it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19237215&highlight=usb+otg#post19237215
And I have cable but nothing happens when I use it.
not a single logcat massage.
That's why I want to know if hardware supports it at all?
Thank you
So can we use USB OTG with X8 or what? Does it work with nAa or ISC kernel? I have no OTG-cable to test with, and I want to be sure that it will be working before buy one.

Why? are there some hardware problems or something? ZTE Blade have the same hardware (CPU & GPU) and support OTG
It wont work, it need new usb kernel libs

It is not that simple. New libs need to be compiled specifically for the X8 as the ZTE blade and the X8 are different devices.

I don't know actually. I never tried bcoz I don't have an OTG cable. Just found the information on net and posted here. May be some one can try who have the cable.
Theoretically our phone (and all msm7x27 based phone) support the usb otg function BUT our hardware not support it. You can enable the otg function in the kernel, and you can try any app from the market, but it will NOT work. The usb socket on our phone NOT give power to the connected device. Maybe it can be work if you give power to the connected device from another power source, but basically this is useless (connect an usb device to x8 AND an external power supply, so forget it)

Is there already a kernel with USBCore/USB Host Mode Support for ICS?

Hi @ll,
is there already a software, ROM or just a kernel which have the USB Host Mode Support supported for the new ICS Roms?
I have now an OTG Cable with active USB Switch and i wanted to try some things like attaching an USB Mouse, Keyboard or USB Stick.
At the moment i have Texasice ICS Rom installed. If i attach any USB Device i can see some action with the dmesg command, but nothing else happing. I don´t know if the ICS Kernel have USB Host Mode support already inside.
Anyone any idea?
Thanks

[Q] [ROM-REQ] Any ICS ROM Supports USB - OTG in IncS

Hi Developers,
It would be very helpful, if you guys port a ROM having kernel Support for USB-OTG support in Our HTC Incredible s.
Awaiting for a long to directly access the Pen drive, PS3 Controller, Hard disk and So on..
PS: Referred in Qualcomm website and found our processor Snapdragon MSM8255 can support USB OTG.
Please refer below threads to have a idea on the same,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588940
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
Thanks!
From what I have seen, then no.
Does the Incredible S even support OTG? AFAIK the phone needs to supply power through the USB port to work, not sure if this phone does.
is there a certain answer for this ? yes or no ? i got otg cable but it doesnt work so what gonna happen now. my rom is JB 4.1.2 cyanvivox currently. as you say it doesnt supply power since the light of the plugged mouse doesnt light up
If I am not mistaken OTG is related to kernel. Which means you need to flash a kernel with working OTG. You could try any Ice Cream Sandwich rom for example project x with redux 0.8 kernel. See if it works.

well I am not sure which kernel but I know 1 of the kernels they said they added support for OTG, maybe you should report in that thread. Check the kernel threads 1 of the devs said it was implemented in their kernel but needed test. So report to him

Did you use a cable with external power source? I don't think the phone can supply its own power.

[Q] usb otg on jelly bean

which jelly bean rom supports usb otg? I want to connect my pen drive on my phone (samsung galaxy i9000 s). is there any way i can do this? if yes then what is the procedure?

but can we connect our ped drive? I have otg cable, I have installed usb host driver software from play store but its not working
No idea. I have never used OTG. But can't you just flash it and find out? It's probably faster than waiting for a concrete reply. Semaphore kernel has USB host driver, but I am not sure if that's OTG.

Sorry for being late.
I dont check the threads much
But for your information most of kernels support usb otg.
You can connect your pen drive by using a usb hub with power adapter
Because phone can not supply power fo a pen drive

[Q] USB*OTG*support ?

Hi
I'd like to use an external DAC with my Nexus 6 but with CM12 it looks like I have no OTG support on USB port ! Is it a limit of current night build of CM ? or hardware limit of Nexus 6 ?
Thanks

Have you used this particular DAC before? If so, did you use it with your Nexus 6 before going to CM? Did you try another OTG cable?
I know those are basic question, just trying to find the root of your issue, I just plugged my Leckerton Audio mk II in and it worked with the newest CM night so it makes me think you are having an issue somewhere else.

I just switched to Nexus 6 and I switched it to CM*before checking if it was working I'll check with an other cable and perhaps upgrade to latest night build of CM*(I installed the first nightly avalaible for N6*!!

Im running CM 12-20150115 . Yeah try the newest build and perhaps try from a clean wipe in case you have some app interfering.
What DAC are you trying to use?

I dont use CM, but do use BlissPop and it works fine with my AudioQuest DragonFly. Also if you use HD files you really need a HD player like USB Audio Player Pro.

So Vince I thought I just had an issue with my DAC, couldnt figure out what the problem was after a whole bunch of troubleshooting then realized I had my USB and OTG cable flipped (Phone->USB->OTG->DAC which is wrong). Perhaps this is your issue?

I'm facing the same issue. I cannot use my USB drives on Nexus 6. My N6 is running the latest CM12.
It's not a hardware problem as the USB storage is accessible in TWRP recovery.
